#OnlyHere 31-sport photo represents all of the advantages that our student-athletes benefit from in attending Columbia University.
NEW YORK—Columbia Athletics released its #OnlyHere 31-Sport Photo on Monday afternoon.
"This photo truly depicts an #OnlyHere moment for Columbia Athletics at Times Square," Columbia University Campbell Family Director of Intercollegiate Athletics & Physical Education Peter Pilling said. "This photo represents all of the advantages that our student-athletes benefit from in attending Columbia University. What Columbia offers in the world of college athletics is unique and #OnlyHere encapsulates everything we provide a student-athlete at Columbia."
"We would like to thank the Times Square Alliance for allowing our student-athletes and staff to experience an #OnlyHere moment," Pilling said. "#OnlyHere at Columbia can a student-athlete experience an Ivy League education, compete on the largest stage and under the brightest lights for conference and national championships, engage in the most diverse and international-centric university in America and take advantage of the cultural and career opportunities that the greatest city in the world has to offer."
The photo was taken on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 20 in the middle of Times Square. The exact location of the shoot was in front of the Times Square Red Stairs between Broadway and Seventh Avenues and 47th and 46th Streets. The exact location is also known as Father Duffy Square.
Thirty-three student-athletes represented each of Columbia's 31 sports in the photo. Columbia Athletics Official Photographer Mike McLaughlin directed, managed and edited the shoot. Space was barricaded off in the middle of the square while onlookers watched, took photos and videotaped the process. Columbia student-athletes arrived in two different groups by taking the 1-Train subway from 116th and Broadway to 50th Street. Each student-athlete was dressed in his/her Columbia uniform.
Columbia Athletics organizes the #OnlyHere photo every two years. It marked the third time that the 31-sport photo has been taken. The first photo was staged on the steps of Low Library at Columbia University. In 2016, it was taken overlooking the skyline of downtown New York at an overlook located on the Hudson River.
